Double K’s Top 5 2013 NCAA Tourney Upsets (WK1): #5 (9) Wichita State Shockers vs. (1) Gonzaga Bulldogs…
#5 (9) Wichita State
Shockers (28-8)(MVC) vs. (1) Gonzaga Bulldogs (32-3)(WCC) Final Score: 78-70 (3rd
Round Game): This was one game that I never saw coming. I think I had Wichita
State making it out of the 2nd round to face Gonzaga but I never had them
beating Gonzaga. The Shockers have always been one of those teams that have consistently
been good. They are a mainstay in the NCAA tournament being selected almost
every year if not then pushing themselves in by winning their conference
tournament. But most years they were
just fodder for the higher seeded team to stomp on in the 1st round.
But every once in awhile the Shockers send a team to the tournament that dose
what this Wichita State team has done. They managed to show that the Bulldogs
were not the only team from a NON- Power 6 conference to make it deep into the
NCAA tournament. And by beating the Bulldogs they have proven that they deserve
to be here and are not flukes that are going to be sent home early…
